Rockfire Resources has commenced work on a maiden JORC Inferred germanium resource estimate at the Molaoi deposit in Greece, alongside an update to the existing zinc resource. Preliminary pXRF drilling results also showed a high-grade 12% copper reading in hole HMO-022.
Battery Age Minerals Ltd released its Annual Report for FY26, highlighting successful maiden drilling campaigns at its Bleiberg (Zn-Pb-Ge) and El Aguila (Au-Ag) projects, confirming mineralized systems. The report also noted strategic advancements in germanium technology and expanded landholdings in Utah, alongside two capital raises totaling $8.5 million. Financially, the company reported a significant loss of $4.97 million and a material uncertainty regarding its going concern status, partly due to an impairment of its investment in Eminence Minerals Limited.
Rockfire Resources has commenced a maiden JORC Inferred germanium resource estimation for its 100%-owned Molaoi zinc deposit in Greece. The company also reported a high-grade 12% Cu pXRF reading from hole HMO-022, which serves as a directional vector towards the mineralisation source.
Group Eleven Resources Corp. announced significantly higher germanium grades at its Ballywire discovery in Ireland, following re-analysis of drill core samples using a new, more accurate sodium peroxide fusion assay method. The new method returned germanium grades that are 68% higher on average, with individual intercepts reaching up to 94.6 g/t Ge over wide intervals, coincident with high grades of zinc and associated metals. The company has a robust treasury and a fully funded drill program underway, with further re-analysis of samples pending.
Group Eleven Resources Corp. announced significantly higher germanium grades at its Ballywire discovery in Ireland, following re-analysis of drill core samples using a new, more accurate sodium peroxide fusion assay method. The new method revealed germanium grades up to 334% higher than the previous method, with an average increase of 68% across 220 samples from five drill holes. These improved results, including high-grade intercepts up to 94 g/t Ge, are considered a key value driver for the project, although metallurgical test work is yet to be completed.
Group Eleven Resources has re-analysed 220 germanium samples from five Ballywire drill holes using a more accurate sodium peroxide fusion method, resulting in an average grade increase of 68%. The new results include high-grade intercepts such as 0.97m at 94.6 g/t germanium, potentially adding a strategic byproduct credit to the existing zinc-lead-silver-copper discovery.
Titan Mining Corporation announced the confirmation of district-wide germanium enrichment at its Empire State Mines in New York, identifying it as a potential critical mineral by-product from existing zinc operations and historic tailings. The company reported elevated germanium values across multiple ore bodies and tailings facilities, with current market prices for germanium being high. Further work, including mineral deportment studies and recovery test work, is planned to advance the program.
Cantex Mine Development Corp. has confirmed high germanium values within the sphalerite at its North Rackla project in the Yukon. The company reported average germanium grades of 654 g/t in the Main Zone and 521 g/t in the GZ Zone based on LA-ICPMS analyses.
Cantex Mine Development Corp. announced high-grade germanium drill results, up to 180.5 g/t, from its North Rackla project in Yukon, Canada. The results, from the 2024 drilling program, also show significant polymetallic mineralization with lead, zinc, and silver, positioning the project as a potential strategic source for critical metals. Detailed QA/QC procedures and QP sign-off support the reliability of the data.
Cantex Mine Development Corp. reported exceedingly high germanium results from 2023 drilling at its 100% owned North Rackla Project in Yukon. The results, with grades up to 114.21 g/t germanium, show a strong correlation with zinc mineralization. These new germanium assays are particularly significant given the recent surge in germanium prices and its classification as a critical metal, positioning the project as a potential alternative western source.
